Base membranes were prepared by coating a monomer mixture consisting of styrene–divinylbenzene–polybutadiene– t ‐amyl alcohol onto a polypropyrene cloth and subsequently by polymerizing the monomers. The resultant base membranes were chloromethylated and then quaternized. Thus, macroreticular anion exchange membranes were prepared and their properties were investigated. Furthermore, the organic fouling of the membranes was studied by using Na dodecylbenzenesulfonate as a foulant. The resistibility of the membranes was dependent on the balance between the porosity of the membranes and the foulant quantity.
